Sensex and Nifty Open Higher but Close Lower Amid IT Selling and Easing Oil Prices
On September 22, Indian stock markets opened higher, supported by easing crude oil prices, softer US bond yields, and positive global cues, including gains in Asian and US markets. However, gains were limited by continued foreign institutional selling and geopolitical tensions. The Sensex and Nifty initially rose but later declined due to selling pressure in IT and financial sectors, ending the Nifty's four-day winning streak. Brent crude prices fell below $100 per barrel, providing some relief amid concerns over inflation and import costs. Investors remain cautious ahead of potential US-Iran diplomatic talks and upcoming IPOs.
